Andres Freund 09568ec3d3 Create a separate oid range for oids assigned by genbki.pl.
The changes I made in 578b229718e assigned oids below
FirstBootstrapObjectId to objects in include/catalog/*.dat files that
did not have an oid assigned, starting at the max oid explicitly
assigned.  Tom criticized that for mainly two reasons:
1) It's not clear which values are manually and which explicitly
   assigned.
2) The space below FirstBootstrapObjectId gets pretty crowded, and
   some PostgreSQL forks have used oids >= 9000 for their own objects,
   to avoid conflicting.

Thus create a new range for objects not assigned explicit oids, but
assigned by genbki.pl. For now 1-9999 is for explicitly assigned oids,
FirstGenbkiObjectId (10000) to FirstBootstrapObjectId (1200) -1 is for
genbki.pl assigned oids, and < FirstNormalObjectId (16384) is for oids
assigned during bootstrap.  It's possible that we'll have to adjust
these boundaries, but there's some headroom for now.

Add a note suggesting that oids in forks should be assigned in the
9000-9999 range.

Catversion bump for obvious reasons.

Per complaint from Tom Lane.

PostgreSQL Database Management System
=====================================

This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL
database management system.

PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system
that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including
transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types
and functions.  This distribution also contains C language bindings.

PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here:

See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install
PostgreSQL.  That file also lists supported operating systems and
hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other
software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL
system.  Copyright and license information can be found in the
file COPYRIGHT.  A comprehensive documentation set is included in this
distribution; it can be read as described in the installation
instructions.

The latest version of this software may be obtained at
https://www.postgresql.org/download/.  For more information look at our
web site located at https://www.postgresql.org/.
